It's fairly common. It's not permanent and far from 100% effective.

The failure rate for tubal ligation is about 1.4 percent overall. So, while the chances of getting pregnant are very low, they aren't zero percent. Women who have had a tubal ligation and subsequently get pregnant are at increased risk for an ectopic pregnancy.
Tubal ligations prevent pregnancy. It prevents contact between the egg and the sperm. There are several different procedures that can be done. One is called the Pomeroy. It involves a loop made in the fallopian tube that is cut out. The tie is made of a material that the body can absorb and when this happens, the two ends of the tube fall apart. It is possible that they re-attach, or the egg or sperm can cross the gap, resulting in pregnancy. I don't know how you had your Tubal Liagation done and I do know that there are several different ways it can be done, so my suggestion to you is to speak with your practitioner.

I know it is possible. The mom of my good friend had her tubes tied, and later found out that she was pregnant... she couldn't believe it... the doctor told her it was something like a 1.5% chance... but it can happen.
